This video details the unique post-WWII partnership between Czechoslovakia and Ethiopia involving the production and sale of Mauser K98k rifles. Facing economic hardship, the Czech arms factory at Brno repurposed German tooling to continue producing K98k rifles. Ethiopia became a notable buyer, with these rifles also serving as a transit point for shipments destined for Israel. The rifles feature original German-marked receivers and some waffenamt'd parts, alongside unique Brno-designed trigger guards and floor plates. A distinct stock disc with an image of St. George slaying the dragon was added for the Ethiopian contract. The video highlights the historical context and specific features of these post-war Mausers.
